Nevada SIate Fair.

At meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture, held in Reno April
80, President Powning presiding, it
was decided to offer a special prem
ium of 800 gold coin for the best
exhibit made by any county (Washoe
excepted) in the State, and $50 gold
coin for the second best exhibit,
with the hope that each county in
the State will make an exhibit in
the Pavilion similar to those made
at the California State Fair last year
by the several counties.
The Board changed the rules to
reduce the price of admission to the
track from 81 to so cents. Season
tickets, admitting man and wife and
minor children for the entire ten
days were placed at $40.
The Board authorized special
prizes, in the shape of valuable
medals from the Amering Clydes-
dale Association, for the best
Clydesdale stallion or mare, bred in
Nevada, exhibited at the State Fair
of 1887.
